Wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir es wahrlich zu zermalmtem Zeug machen, und ihr würdet dann dauernd verwundert darüber reden:
Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder, and ye would be left in wonderment,
If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ

ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ
Wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir es (auf der Zunge) brennend machen. Wenn ihr doch dankbar sein würdet!
Were it Our Will, We could make it salt (and unpalatable): then why do ye not give thanks?
If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem Feuer, das ihr (durch Reiben) zündet?

Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars, -
Then I swear by the setting of the stars,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
- und das ist wahrlich, wenn ihr (nur) wüßtet, ein gewaltiger Schwur:
And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if ye but knew, -
And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ

تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wollt ihr denn über diese Aussage nur schön reden
Is it such a Message that ye would hold in light esteem?
Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
und (als Dankbarkeit) für eure Versorgung soll euer Ableugnen sein?
And have ye made it your livelihood that ye should declare it false?
And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Wenn sie die Kehle erreicht,
Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat, -

während ihr dabei zuschaut

But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not, -
And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
könntet ihr dann, wenn ihr doch nicht vor Gericht gestellt werden sollt (, wie ihr behauptet),
Then why do ye not, - If you are exempt from (future) account, -
Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
sie zurückbringen, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid?
Call back the soul, if ye are true (in the claim of independence)?
Bring it back, if you should be truthful?
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

Thus, then, if he be of those Nearest to Allah,
And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,

Und wenn er nun zu den Gefährten der rechten Seite gehört,
And if he be of the Companions of the Right Hand,
And if he was of the companions of the right,
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
so: Friede sei dir von den Gefährten der rechten Seite.
(For him is the salutation), "Peace be unto thee", from the Companions of the Right Hand.

Wenn er aber zu den Leugnern, den Irregehenden gehört,
And if he be of those who treat (Truth) as Falsehood, who go wrong,
But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,

dann wird ihm eine gastliche Aufnahme aus heißem Wasser (zuteil) werden,
For him is Entertainment with Boiling Water.
Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
